[Lightstalkers] Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/exhibition-quality-ink-jet-papers
An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML.en-usExhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?I have an Epson 2200 Photo inkjet printer which uses ultra-chrome inks. I've been using Epson Luster paper as I don't like high gloss paper and the Epson Matte is good for some pictures but colors die on the matte with most.
Does anyone know of of a luster/semigloss paper better than the Luster paper? Its pretty good, but for exhibition doesn't always cut it...the surface seems a bit plastic and the luster surface does scatter light some which hurts saturation, etc.
So if anyone knows some good alternatives please give a shout?!Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:53:44 +0000http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/exhibition-quality-ink-jet-papers

Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?Thanks.....but I've tried Ilford Pearl and while its a decent paper it has the same problems. Luster is actually better than the Pearl paper, but.....Fri, 01 Apr 2005 00:42:43 +0000http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/exhibition-quality-ink-jet-papers#2468
Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?Have you used the Epson semigloss? I had heard that the semigloss is the same as the luster but when I recently put together a portfolio and attempted mixing the two I noticed a huge difference between them.

Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?This may be old info, but a couple years ago I sat in on a printing class where Colorlife paper was highly praised.Fri, 01 Apr 2005 10:20:03 +0000http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/exhibition-quality-ink-jet-papers#2471
Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?Pictorico had some good reviews and claims to have less bronzing than Epson papers

Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?hey, adam. the colorlife, i am pretty sure, will not work with the 2200's inkset. when i was at b&h recently their computer guru guy (sits at a desk in the middle of the camera section, surounded on 3 sides by a counter that has digital cameras leashed to it) was showing me oriental's inkjet papers. they looked good. take in a file burned to a cd and ask them for a sample print. he's a nice guy, but i forget his name. the oriental inkjet papers apparently have the same base as their darkroom papers. they have an rc-type and, it seems, some type of fiber-based. looking at the b&h website now i have 3 observations: 1) oriental is expensive. 2) much of it is not in stock.
ok, 2 observations, i forgot the third . . . Sat, 02 Apr 2005 13:57:37 +0000http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/exhibition-quality-ink-jet-papers#2484
Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?Hey folks....I'm testing an InkJet paper that shows promise. Its the UltraPro Satin made by Red River Paper. So far I like the surface better than the Epson Luster and it seems to have fewer problems with reflections and a wider viewing angle. I'm going to go on working with it and am curious about other people's experience with it.
And at $30.60 for a 100 sheets of 8.5x11 its definately cheaper than Epson.
Also compatable with Epson UltraChrome Inks.

Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?An interesting site about papers, calibration and printing. They also sell custom ICC Profiles which I know nothing about....so this not an edorsement for that.

Re: Exhibition Quality Ink-Jet Papers?I've just started using Epson Premium Luster for promo cards - does anyone know of a comparable paper that doesn't have a logo on the back? It'd be nice to not see the Epson brand on the back of my cards... Adam, how about the UltraPro?Tue, 12 Apr 2005 04:46:47 +0000http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/exhibition-quality-ink-jet-papers#2623
